Pure Ed has been rambling
around the southeast for the last few years creating music, making new friends, and rocking out in some of the strangest places imaginable. After the
positive response to the 2010 release of the "Work Sucks EP," the band
returned to the studio more determined than ever to complete their
debut, full-length album. The resulting "Shoes, Ships & Sealing
Wax" CD was released on November 1, 2011. Upon its release,
Pure Ed was back to hitting the road from the east coast to the west
coast delivering (in person) a disk that's sure to beat up your stereo speakers
with noisy songs of anger and frustration. The band recorded an awesome
show at The Viper Room in Hollywood, CA and the resulting CD, "Live
at The Viper Room," was released on August 23, 2013. Love 'em or hate 'em, there's no denying that Pure Ed does what they do with a passion and honesty that few bands today can
muster.

Pure Ed is the music of Jason Cope. Many people do not like it. In fact, many people hate it. They hate it so much that Jason has actually been beaten at shows for playing his songs. One time he was beaten so badly that he woke up in the hospital. Why does this happen? Is it because the music is bad? Is it because the songs are vulgar? Not at all. It is because the songs, the words and even the person creating them are different - honest - unashamed. Sometimes a different view can be dangerous. That is the story of Pure Ed.

Jason takes a cue from artists like Kurt Cobain, Jack White and Bob Dylan by writing music for himself and whoever else wants to hear it as it is. There is no compromise. There is no fluff - just honest songs about life as he sees it. He hopes people will listen, but if they don't, that's fine. The songs will still be there and he will still play them...because
that's what he does.
